Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. Our inspection grades are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities third best area is short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this area. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we assessed is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 47.19388 percent of its residents. This is multiple points less than average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
